Can you link buttons to labels in a separate movieclip?

I'm fairly new to flash so please excuse my lack of knowledge...using AS3
basically I had a situation arranged where when a button was clicked and flash would then display a certain image by jumping to a label on the timeline, and by clicking a different button a different image would be shown. this was working pretty well but for layout reasons I had to split these buttons and the timeline that they relate to up into separate movie clips.
obviously the buttons dont do anything now,
but what i'm hoping to find out is how I can link these items back up despite them being in separate movie clips.  is this possible?
i'm just wanting them to do the same thing they did when they were both in the same movieclip.
any help is extremely welcome
thank you

thanks for replying
at the moment I have  the following...  with "baird" being both the instance name and the label name
baird.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickbaird);
function clickbaird(evtObj:MouseEvent) {
MovieClip(parent).maincontent.bigchap.kiltclip.gotoAndStop("baird");
its not returning any error messages but its still not doing what i want it to :/
the whole thing is contained within a mc with an instance name maincontent...   then another movie clip with a instance name bigchap contains more movieclips, the one i'm working with just now with all the labels on a timeline is called kiltclip.
Then theres the buttons which are located within a movieclip with an instance name of kiltpanel, which is inside a movie with an instance name controlpanel. which is inside maincontent.
i'm trying to build an 'outfit builder' type thing for a highlandwear company I work for

  • Can you 'link' an image state icon, across a folio.....?

    Here's a thought for you all.....Can you 'link' an image state icon, across a folio.....
    for example a "blinking" 'tap me' 2 state icon, that if you alter, it alters across the whole folio via links??
    Object styles?

    For each icon that you want to use in your email signature:
    locate icon on internet webpage - right-click on the icon and select 'Save Image as'. Save the icon to your computer in a suitable file.
    Then in Thunderbird
    insert > Image
    choose file - locate the saved icon on your computer
    click on Link tab and enter the www etc webpage link info
    click on OK to insert image with link.
    Codewise, where you have the actual icon you would need something stating where the icon is located:
    eg
    <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubiquia/146019678805381" target="_blank">
    path to image saved on computer included in within <> </a>

    Personally I think you are going about this all wrong.  I believe someone recommended to you in a previous post to look into the HTML5  ( http://forums.adobe.com/thread/874917 ) you need to end up creating the site with Adobe AIR as opposed to the way you are going about doing it.  That would be creating an application like Tweetdeck that connects to the internet and uses interactive elements.  http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air.html
    If you want to link a file within a Flash document you would receive a quicker and more in depth answer in the Flash forum as it will require ActionScript.

    It sounds like you have a ton of ideas, but your lack of information suggests that 1. you don't have all the knowledge necessary to get the project off the ground and 2. your reluctance to share it suggests that you have an idea that you feel the program is proprietary.  Given that this is the case you might be best served looking for an experienced Flash or AIR developer to help get your ideas going in motion. There is nothing wrong with trying to learn but the information you are giving up to go on is very broad and unfortunately it does not appear that you are getting the answers you are looking for.

  • How many Airport Expresses can you link and still work properly

    How many Airiport Expresses can you link and still work properly.

    It would depend on whether all of these base stations will be interconnected by Ethernet or by wireless and what your goal is with them.
    In a roaming network, where all base stations would be connected by Ethernet, you could have 10+ base stations. Apple has never (at least to me) any limits on the number of base stations that can be used in this type of network.
    In an extended network, where all of the base stations use wireless connections, the practical limit would be 4 or 5 base stations.

  • Can you link back to an iweb homepage from a .mac gallery?

    Hi,
    I'm able to link from my iweb site to my .mac gallery, but how do I get back to my iweb site once I'm there? Can you put a link back from the .mac gallery to my iweb homepage?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    On my page the link to the dotMac webgallery opens in in a new window. So there's no need to link back. Just close the window.
    In case the gallery opens in the same window, you have to use the Previous page button.
    You cannot add a link anyway, since there's no page to edit. The page(s) are created bij dotMac.

  • Bug in flex 4, with truncating the link button and labels

  • Can you link text to an "Open in New Browser Window" behavior?

    Newbie here... the title asks the question. I know you can link an image in this way, but can you do it with text?

    Yeah.  The manner in which PDF files are handled depends on your end user's computer/browser settings, installed plug-ins, etc...  In some cases the PDF will launch in the browser window.  In other cases it may download to the user's hard drive or it may launch inside Acrobat (if they have it).  Too many unknown variables here...
    The best advice I can give you is to keep it simple.  Link directly to your PDF file and use target="_blank" to open it in a new window or tab.  And be nice to your site visitors, tell them it's a PDF file and approx. how big the file size is in KB.

  • Can you link to text?

    Hello again...
    Okay, here's the scoop: I'm building some websites which will
    be expanding in size over the coming months and years. Right now I
    have a footer with copyright info, it's text controlled ny an
    external style sheet. Works lovely.
    So let's say that I get into these pages, oh, 50-100 or more
    pages and suddenly I realize that I have to change the text in the
    footer to read differently. Don't ask why, please.
    Can I link to a bit of text, stored elsewhere, just like a
    photo or file, that will deliver the copyright info, just one
    simple set of text that I can change once and affect a global
    change on my large websites? I'd rather do it with text as opposed
    to a graphic.
    Any takers? It's late here in Las Vegas (12:31am) and the cat
    on my lap won't tell me if he knows how to solve this issue.
    Cheers all,
    Wordman

  • Using addresses, can you print duplicate mailing labels for the same address

    using my address book, can I print duplicate mailing labels for the same name and address. 

    I checked the Address Book Print Dialog and I did not see the option to duplicate a single label.
    The only thing you could try is to select the name in your list. Then do Command-P to print which should get you to this dialog box:
    Try changing the # of copies and see if that does what you want. Otherwise I'm not sure and your answer may best be found in the Address Book forum on here.
    You may not want to incue the expense but Microsoft Word will do what you want.

  • In a DPS Article, can you link to a multiple state object form a web content overlay?

    The reason we ask this is because we use web conntent overlays for our buttons as they are sharp on retina and and have a better touch responce.
    Thanks

    It would be fantastic if buttons could simply render in the correct resolution. One trick that I've been playing with is creating an up and down state for each button. Then when you tap your invisible button you set it to go to the down state.
    It gets hairy when you have multiple buttons on the same page. Say you have (button one) working and you want to click (button two) and reset the first button to it's original state. Do this:
    button two, on tap or release:
    + go to state two (button two)
    + go to state one (button one)
    +then whatever other actions you have linked to your button.
    This is the only way i've found that works. Only problem is that button events have to play through their entire "fade in/out" nonsense one after another (unless you turn them off), so you end up with a glorious lag between button clicks and any actions that you might have tied to it.
    I hope this helps.

  • Can you link flash buttons to a embedded cue point

    I have a video that I exported to flv with 10 embedded
    navigation cue points. I also have 10 buttons in a flash file that
    I would like to link to those cue points. I can't find any info on
    how to do that. I see info on making a cue point make a event
    happen, but nothing on linking a button to a cue point. Basically
    I'm looking for the same interaction as a DVD were the user clicks
    on a chapter they want and the video goes to it.

    There are players that will play a swf with volume mute stop start that sort of thing I downloaded one a couple of years ago  I don't recall where I got it.
